Do we outsource research conferences at our peril? For‑profit event firms reduce our effort, but fees are high and returns to academia low. Would not-for-profit society-organized meetings held at universities benefit the academic community more? peeer.net/2025/08/04/t...

Last month marks 20 years since I started the Mongabay news service.
Our growth has been shaped by countless people: brave reporters risking their safety to tell urgent stories, editors refining every detail, partners who believed in our vision, & readers who care deeply.

Experts fear the leafy seadragon may be disappearing from areas hit by SA’s toxic algal bloom. With a limited range, losing local populations could mean losing the species entirely. Urgent action is needed to prevent permanent biodiversity loss.

Speed mentoring for early career ecologists
Calling all early career ecologists! The ESA Mentoring Program supports Early Career Ecologists by connecting them with mentors from academia and industry. The program provides a space to explore topics such as career development, work-life balance, research pathways, and navigating challenges in the profession. When you register as a mentee, you will be invited to browse the profiles of our registered mentors and enjoy a unique opportunity to book up to three 30-minute sessions.
Mentee registration for the July week is now OPEN A few things to note: If you’ve been part of the ESA Mentoring Program before – or been mentored elsewhere – you’re still welcome to apply. Mentees must be current ESA members to participate. Sessions will be held online (Zoom) There is no ongoing commitment – mentors and mentees may choose to continue the conversation after the mentoring week, but there is no expectation to do so. If July doesn’t suit, look out for the October round (registrations open in September).
Calling all early-career ecologists 🐨
Mentee registration is NOW OPEN for ESA’s July Speed Mentoring Week!
🔹 Book up to 3 one-on-one sessions with experienced ecologists
🔹 Get answers to your biggest career questions
🔹 Flexible, impactful, and designed for YOU
